I thought my mom ended it......

My mom sat next to me as we watched the Capitol hunger games. We wanted to kill off Snows only relative, his granddaughter, but that plan blew up in our faces as she was crowned victor. My mom said that was to be the last games and that I would never have to survive what my mother,Katniss , and my dad, Peeta, had. I believed her but she was wrong.

Seven years later it was my twelfth birthday and snows granddaughter, Emily's, 18th. But then our television clicked on and on the screen it said...... ONCE AGAIN THE SNOW FAMILY TAKES CONTROL OF PANEM AND SINCE THE REBELS MESSED UP THE LAST GAMES THE 77TH GAMES WOULD BE SPECIAL AND UNFORGETTABLE...MORE DETAILS LATER. My family that contained two victors and the mockingjay was their target. I could see it in my moms eyes.... Someone will be reaped and it will be one of us.

The next day the tv said, FOR THE 77TH HUNGER GAMES FOUR TRIBUTES WILL BE PICKED FROM EACH DISTRICT AND IF ONE DIES IN THE ARENA AND THE OTHER TRIBUTES FROM THAT DISTRICT MAKE NO EFFORT TO SAVE THEM OR COMFORT THEM WHILE THEY ARE DYING THE REMAINIG TRIBUTES WILL BE TURNED INTO AVOXES AND SEARVE PRESIDENT EMILY SNOW FORT HE REST OF THEIR LIFE. IF THEY DO TRY TO SAVE THEM THE REMAINING TRIBUTES CAN CONTINUE. UP TO 4 TRIBUTES CAN BE CROWNED VICTOR. VICTOR OR NO VICTOR ALL ADULTS WILL BE IN THE REAPING BALLS. ONE ADULT MALE TRIBUTE AND ONE ADULT FEMALE TRIBUTE, ONE CHILD FEMALE TRIBUTE AND ONE CHILD MALE TRIBUTE FROM THE AGES 12-18 WILL BE REAPED. This stinks we have one of each of those in our family one girl and one boy between 12-18 and two adults one male and one female. They are targeting us and the reaping will be rigged I. can tell. They made it so specific to our family.

Today was the reaping they zapped my hand and it really hurt! Then I made my way to the front of the girls section with the rest of the twelve year olds. I could see my brother Seth who is sixteen in the middle of the boys section and my parents at the back of each group. Then it happened. The most horrifying human being that had hair that looked like cotton candy and an eerily pale face. I do recognize her though, from my parents tapes of their games, I think her name was Effie. She came up to the microphone and made a little speech about how the four tributes will have the honor of representing district 12 in the 77th hunger games. I could almost feel he staring at me. Then she said,"We will start with the adults. As always ladies first," she waves her hand around and picks up the sheet and reads it out loud, " Katniss Melark." She frowns and moves onto the male adult tribute and says,"the male tribute is Peeta Melark." She starts to look angry when she says, " on to the children," in her very distinct Capitol accent. She walks over to the girls reaping ball that is covered with seven years worth of grime on it and grabs a paper,"and for the girls.......Primrose Rue Melark," then even before they go on to the guys Seth says," I volunteer for whoever the boy tribute will be I am not leaving my family," at that the rest of the district gives us the three finger salute and peacekeepers lead us to the train.

As we enter the train a tv plays the reapings. When we get there they are just finishing district 1. Mom looks interested as they move on to two, another creepy Capitol woman says that the adult female tribute is Dolabella Tulla. Then the woman said, "and for the boys, Gale Hawthorne." My mom gasps and starts sobbing. I wonder why. Then Effie goes off on a rant about how wonderful the expirience on the train is. My mother having been on that train many times tells Effie to shut up. Mom takes me to my compartment and starts to talk strategy. While Effie is talking excessively about some kind of wood called mahogany to my father and a unkept man named Haymich is knocked out drunk my mom sneaks into the kitchen car and steals a few knives. She is going to teach me to throw them.
